Medical Results for Study Permit - Need Some Advice Please! : )

[WSY]

Hi everyone! my first thread here and hope I could seek some advice from you.

I am planning to apply for a program (Fall 2021) of Red River College, Winnipeg. Assume that I will get an offer email, pay for the deposit and receive Letter of Acceptance (LoA) in May. As the medical results needed for the Study Permit are only good for 12 months only, if I apply for the document too early, the medical results will expire by the time I go to Canada and another exam will be needed. Should I wait until this Sept for the application for Study Permit? or I should get the document anyway to secure the offer first and do another exam later? Are there any instructions on LoA saying that the candidate should get started with the Study Permit within a particular period of time?

Anyone who have similar experience can share your views please? Thank you so much in advance!

Do you mean Fall 2020? Schools generally don't give out acceptance letters for programs a year and half away.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I did mean Fall 2021 and that's why I am a bit confused of the timeline. Indeed, I know some people who have got an offer for Fall 2021 already ...

2020 is WAY too early to apply for a study permit for Fall 2021. Wait until next year.

yes, you're right. Given that the medical is only valid for a year, probably I apply for the program first and wait for a few more months before getting started with the study permit application (if it doesn't really affect the success rate with a few-month interval)
